The surfaces are better than average with bright yellow-gold color throughout and a sharp strike with full curls on Liberty's head and neck. The eagle too is sharp, with the thigh and talons showing partial definition, areas often lacking on these. Residual luster in the protected areas, with moderate scuffs and nicks affecting that feature within the open fields. Provenance: From the Pieper Collection. NGC Census: 16; 14 finer (MS-64 Finest). PCGS# 7765. NGC ID: 25HT. Click here for certification details from NGC.
